After spending a night painstakingly copy and pasting data from Panoply to Excel to Matlab, I was overjoyed to see Lucia found a site that has all the data I need in a easily importable format! I’m thinking of looking at other variables other than just surface temperature. Looks like Lucia has that under wraps. Time to start importing data.

I don’t have it “underwraps”! If you visit the site, there’s an alphabet soup of acronyns of things you can download. I don’t have a clue what some of them are yet!

I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have put it that way. I meant that I would look at other variables while you looked at temperature. Those acronyms should correspond to these variables.

Hi chad! Cool.
Can you repeat focusing on the period of time with no volcanic eruptions? That creates a particularly stringent test.
You do know Roger Pielke Sr. thinks this idea and analysis should become a journal article.

Yes, I saw him recommend that you write up your findings and submit it for publication. After I have my farm-raised poached salmon, I’ll start writing code to exclude periods around volcanic eruptions. I’ll look up how long the effects of each eruption lasted so I know how much data to exclude. Good idea.
